About
Assistant Professor,
University College & Institute of Philosophy, Leiden University.
I’m an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and a member of the Centre for Political Philosophy at Leiden University, the Netherlands. I specialise in contemporary political theory and early modern political thought. My research is broadly focused on the nature and prospects of the sovereign state. My recent historical research is on the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. My recent contemporary research concerns international taxation in relation to global justice. I have been O’Brien Fellow in Residence at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, McGill University, and Visiting Professor at the Centre for Ethics, University of Toronto. I've also held visiting appointments at the University of Montreal, King’s College London, and the University of Leuven.
